Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but the maintainers need more information to fix the bug. Could you please answer the questions in the other report? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 316516 ***
I had been sent several photo attachments in jpeg format. these were in a coloumn below the e-mail. I was moving my way from the bottom upwards, opening and closing each picture as I viewed them. this seems to have been too much for evolution, as it crashed producing the bug report submitted. i've an AMD Athlon 2000+ running multiple systems but i use the community OS SuSE 10. this has been patched regularly since installation. I have recently started to have the infrequent experience of a startup error message from Nautilus complaining of some discrepancy in the installation. I'll note this the next time it appears and forward it to you if this might help? I have also experienced an error message to do with Nautilus/Evolution concerning the saving or inability to save certain aspects of the configuration data. Again if or when this occurs again i'll add it to this bug report?
Hi I was greeted with an error message box this am whilst booting into my favourite Open Source OS SuSE 10. This is an infrequent occurrence, I have not investigated it before but shall try to do so this time as i have already reported a bug for evolution and wonder if this is connected? The error notice said: "An Error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-obex-server. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly". The read out in the details boxout said: "Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-stephen/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: Failed to convert IOR '' to an object reference)" I hope this is of some help in solving the evolution bug i reported to the Evolution maintainer Christian Kirbach [Bug 325682]. extra information was requested and i have tried to furnish this. Regards and thanks for your contribution towards a fantastic suite of software Stephen srpiper@postmaster.co.uk
No, this is certainly not related. And i am not the Evolution maintainer :) This looks like a gconf problem. "Failed to contact configuration server;[...]" it gives some possible explanations of what the problem is. contact your system administrator about this.
